" AROUND THE CAMPFIRE -With PRINCE RESOLUTIONS FOR OUTDOOR PEOPLE Now that the old year Is gone and the new one just coming into view let us sit down and do a little retrospective meditating on the past season and at the same g ' 1,VV time make a lew resolution! for Won't some of the new year, tho following fit In with your plans and help make the new year more worthwhile? Resolved: 1. To go camp ing more fre 4 quently. There s nothing like getting nut in the woods to make you forget the trials and troubles of a busy world. 2. To take the kids with you. Get them started early and teach them to be real outdoor enthus iasts. 3. To throw the small ones back. A little fish only makes one Rood bite, anyhow, so why not release him to grow bigger? 4. To take only what gamo or fish that you need. Don't try -for the limit evcrytime.

Open Champ YEAR'S WRAP-UP Bannister, Furgol Post Great Feats By LEO H. PETERSEN OI The United Pros NEW YORK flu Sports enjoyed another successful year in 1954. Business boomed at the box office and for shfer drama on the play ing fields there are, few years to equal the one just past. And for 1955, the sports world looked ahead optimistically. Only minor'league baseball appeared headed for trouble, but that is nothing new for the situation with the minors has grown worse evry year si.nce 1949. Except for the minors, another sports enjoyed banner seasons. .There was nothing to approach the boom vear right after the war,, but attendance and.box of fice receipts generally wefe high er than in 1953. ATHLETES SUPPLY DRAMA 1 But far overshadowing the brisk business at the turnstiles, was the drama supplied by the athi'etcs themselves. , 0 And toppii?g hat department wis? one of the greatest fpats in sports h'story-j-the first mile run under four minutes. Roger Ban nister, a tall, thin English doctor, became the first human to ac complish mjla's dream ore May 6 when on the rain-soaked -track at Oxford he ran the distance in 3:59.4. But that mark was not to stand long, obecause before the y'ear was out the four minute bar rier had been c'acked thrcemore times, with John Landy, of Aus tralia, turning in the best time, 3:58.0 at .Turku, Finland, on Jimt 21.

In the meantime, busy Bill Veeck worked to bring major league baseball to Los Angeles while San Francisco passed a five million dollar bond issue to build a bit? league park two faciors which might send the open circuit into a tailspin. Veeck tabs the majors a "mor tal cinch" to come t L.A. if a stadium is waiting but the idea is to get a suitable one. The city seems a litUe chilly towayi pass ing a bond issue. The jond issue as passed by the San Francisco electorate has a oy twist no work will start on a park until a major league franchise is assured.

Coach Rates Gola Best In History. NEW YORK m Ken Loeffler of LaSalle today tab'.ied Tom Gola as "the greatest basketball player who ever lived" but ad' mitted that his 6-foot, 7-inch star worried him as much as he does rival coaches.' Not personally, understand, for Loeffler rates Goia as "a real old fashioned type of kid who works hard and is extremely modest." The difficulty is in trying to keep emotional balance on his teaTn. It is a chore which this year has aggravated Locffler's ulcers and produced, in succession, It's a lot of trouble, maintain ing that balance, and no matter what I do somebody is taking pot shots at me," Loeffler ex plained. "I would like to say, one man can't win a national champi onship." As example, Loefler recalls when Gola first arrived at La Salle after earning a reputation as a terrific high school pivot. "I took him out of the pivot Factory Price Includes 1 Genuine Sleep-Aire innerspring mattress -j viaicnmg Matching Sleep'Aire At. 3 (Second i'23.95i RUBBER MATTRESSES- '$62.50 Uncovered Twin Size, AVv 42 50 52.'50 SO x 74 x 4V4" Slab 3250 51.50 24 x 74 x 4W;S!ab 2550 Slob.I 14i50 " .

Now those same people are prais ing him for his all-around play." Handling a team with a star of such proportions requires more than a mere human touch, Loef fler moaned. "It's harder to. coach a team like this one with Gola than it is just an ordinary team," the har ried court tutor asserted. "When we win, Gola won it. When we lose, Loeffler and those 'bums' playing with Gola can't get the ball in to him." I But, Loeffler added hastily. don't think he doesn't appreciate the spot on which Gola is, too. And it is obvious that the men he faults are the sportswritersj "When I was sick I had to get several blood transfusions." Locf- fler cracked. "After one of them,' J I got an infection.
